Harpoon Brewery, Boston, MA 6.2% ABV Clear gold in color with a nose of malt and a hint of fruity hops. Starts off malty then the fruit ramps up and coasts through. Fruity aftertaste. Disjointed as the elements do not mesh well. Disappointing as we think this is the first Harpoon we have not liked….

4124 Tchoupitoulas St, New Orleans, LA The taproom is the front third of a large warehouse with large windows looking into the brewery. Lots of seating: half inside (air conditioned) and half outside overlooking Tchoupitoulas. Indoors is very spacious with tall ceilings, light and airy. Booths along the walls and sit-down tables inside and out….

14141 Airline Hwy #4J, Baton Rouge, LA Located in an office park behind a shopping center. It has a small indoor tasting room with bar seating and outdoor picnic tables. 90’s music played in the background, but it was not intrusive. The outdoor area the night we went had a vendor selling BBQ, but we…

Covington Brewhouse, Covington, LA Tune in to our Electric Porter and turn up your inner creative genius. You may wear a suit and tie to the office, but when you come home, you crank up the amp and move into afterhours mode! That’s why you drink Electric Porter, that’s how you feed the rocker that…

Elysian Brewing Co, Seattle, WA; Ft. Collins, CO The hopping is pure starglow energy, with Chinook to bitter and late and dry additions of Citra and Amarillo. 8.2% ABV Clear gold in color with a light, candy fruit nose similar to a tropical Lifesaver. Bitter, but not overly so. Deceptively light for an 8+%…

Bell’s Brewery, Inc., Comstock, MI 7% ABV Hazy dark amber in color with a hoppy nose of fruit and pine, perhaps Citra hops. The palate is malty and hoppy with both elements complimenting each other very well. Reminds us of a Double IPA. Would we have it again? Yes Would we get a 6-pack? Not…

1709 Corbin Rd, Hammond, LA Gnarly Barley Brewing, in Hammond, LA is one of our favorite breweries. We visited for the second time this weekend so we could write a review. The taproom and brewery is located in a large, un-air conditioned warehouse. They keep many large doors open throughout and have two large box…

Urban South Brewing, New Orleans, LA 5% ABV Hazy straw gold in color with a nose of a Sweetart. Tastes like a Sweetart, but more fruity than tart. Not sour. Tartness hangs out in the background. We really like this as a warm weather beer. Would we have it again? Yes Would we get a…
